GunHunter, No I don't have to remove anything to put the tracks on. The tracks are made from a very heavy "belting" type of rubber, like a conveyor belt. The guides are bolted on with spring steel bases to keep the track from flexing too much, and it springs back into shape when going throgh ruts or hits a stump on the side. It's very tough stuff.
Putting them on only requires a 27 foot large ratchet strap. I usually let the air out of the two end tires, which makes it a lot easier to ratchet it up. I use a battery operated drill, set in reverse to spin the 1/4 inch aircraft cable through the loops on the track. It works very easy and only takes a few minutes to put a track on when you learn how to do it.
No, I don't have to use dual tires. My machine came with axle extenders and external side rails to protect the wheel extenders.
I only use the tracks in watery mud and I'll be using them this winter in the snow. Otherwise the Mudd Ox goes about anywhere with just the tires.
That is exactly what my Triton has except I have to change over to the dual wheels to install the tracks. I am also considering removing all the chains when I put my tracks on.
